Oh, so you know better than Army attorneys about Miranda rights? Tom Send a noteboard - 22/11/2009 11:52:00 PM
If Lindsey Graham, a former Army legal prosecutor, is worried about Miranda rights, then I'd say it's much more likely that you're the one who doesn't understand their application. Where did you go to law school, by the way?

You also fail to note that there is a difference between "military tribunal" and "no due process". The Guantanamo situation is bad and I for one do not disagree with you on that point. Yes, it does help jihadis paint themselves as victims of an oppressive United States.

However, most jihadis are going to view us that way no matter what we do. Furthermore, military tribunals which meet standards for due process, habeas corpus, etc. are perfectly legitimate and legal.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!
